| “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory” |
| —Hebrews 1:3 |
Nothing is more important to stable health than pure water. We don’t even think about how fortunate we are to just turn on the tap and out flows pure, clean water.
Much of the world struggles to obtain pure water. The disease that’s rampant in the world comes largely from a lack of pure water. In fact, not long ago in the history of our own nation, pure water was a sought-after commodity. How blessed we are to live in towns and cities and rural countrysides where pure water exists in abundance.
Just as impurities in water cause disease, the sin in our lives causes a spiritual disease that separates us from fellowship with God. But, praise God, through His Son, Jesus, God has purified us from our sins. Jesus is the “Purification Provider” through His birth, life, suffering, death, resurrection, and ascension. The writer of the letter to the Hebrews pit it this way in Hebrews 1:3:
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Let us rejoice this day that, as followers of Christ, our sins our gone—covered by Jesus’ precious blood. And, as God opens up opportunities, let’s be quick today to share this good news with others.
